We all went down this afternoon to prepare the bottom of the allotment for the arrival of Great Grandpa's greenhouse tomorrow. We are meeting Nana & Grandad at Great Grandpa's and 9:30 tomorrow and then dismantling the greenhouse, transporting it to the allotment, and putting it back up (hopefully !!!).
We measure out the area (6ft x 8ft) and then flattened it off and edged it with bricks, making sure it was all level as well. Henry supervised whilst he was eating sweeties !
All the trees and bushes are looking healthy apart from the blueberry which we thought was possibly dead last time we were down ! We've left it in for now just in case though, if not we'll buy a new one in a couple of weeks time. We had to move the Bramley Seedling apple tree a bit
because of where the new greenhouse is going, but that is all fine now in its new place. We also put in some rhubarb from Grandpa's garden which Uncle Nige got for us.
Henry's radish are coming through, as are the potatoes we planted a few weeks ago (the ones which had sprouted in the cupboard at home) - I think they were Rooster potatoes. No sign of the lettuce, spinach or parsnips yet, although I think Dad told me parsnips had a long germination period, so we'll wait and see.
The raspberry canes that came from Lauriston are doing really well (full of leaves), the others are not doing anything just yet. The cherry tree has lots of leaves coming, as does the 2 apple trees.
